"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I'm in love with you?"
---------
Serenity Dixon is an 18-year-old fashion design major and Architect minor at Howard University. Her hard work in High School has paid off since she has a full-ride scholarship to her dream university. Everything seemed to be looking up for her until a boy by the name of Dominic Eliot comes into her life.
Dominic Eliot is the complete opposite. He's majoring in structural engineering at Howard University. Unlike Serenity, he's not outgoing. He keeps to himself and only speaks when he's spoken to.
So, what happens when they get to know each other? Secrets are shared, their past comes to light, and their bond grows.

The Echoes of Our Hearts
Some stories bloom in sunshine. This one took root in shadows. For every beginning is not loud. Some slip in quietly-like a secret. Like a glance held a second too long. Like a name you weren't supposed to remember... but did. At Regalia Reynolds Global University, appearances were everything. Beneath the gleaming towers, designer labels, and curated smiles, truths were buried deep-hidden behind last names that weighed like crowns. Prisha Goyal didn't belong to that world. Not by blood. Not by bank balance. She was a girl with a past too heavy for her age, and dreams stitched together by hope and resilience. She wasn't looking to be noticed-not by the elite who ruled the halls with old money and sharper smiles. But life has a habit of unraveling even the most carefully woven plans. The Four Princes didn't need new players in their world. Yet fate introduced her anyway. To most, they were unreachable. To her, they became something else entirely. Enemies. Friends. Confidants. Strangers. And eventually... something far more complicated. As friendships formed in the unlikeliest corners, and laughter echoed through shared dorm kitchens and unspoken pain, the lines began to blur. Loyalties tested through whispered betrayals. Between affection and obsession. Truth and illusion. Trust and betrayal. And somewhere between the stolen glances, cruel misunderstandings, and gentle touches that meant far too much, something deeper began to bloom. Each thread Prisha tugged unraveled another mystery-about her past, about those she called friends, and about the man whose eyes always lingered just a little too long. Because love doesn't arrive in declarations. Sometimes, it creeps in-slowly, silently-until it wraps around your heart like ivy. And when the masks fall, when the truths finally surface, the question remains: Who will still be standing? P.S: It is a slow burn romance

HE Who Saw the Deep (COMPLETED)
HE Series Book 1 (COMPLETED) Born into hardship, Eryna knew struggle before she knew comfort. An architecture student with dreams taller than the skyscrapers she sketches, she scrapes by, buying every drafting pencil and book with money she earns herself. With absent parents and only her younger brother to call family, she clings to the bitter love of her grandmother. Then comes, Eron, a whirlwind of warmth and laughter, the kind of person who believes in love at first sight. What starts as a simple encounter soon transforms into something deeper. He becomes her greatest supporter, the one who stands by her through every sleepless night, every doubt, every battle against the world's weight. In a life where she's learned to rely on no one but herself, Eryna is about to discover that sometimes, strength isn't just about standing alone --- it's also about knowing when to lean on someone who truly cares. She's like a wild wave crashing against the coast. He is the breeze willing to soothe her. But you can't help someone who's filled with rage, they will only drown you and let you rust in the deep.

But when her son comes home from college for the summer and brings his best friend with him, all bets are off. Zane is tall, tatted, and built like temptation in human form-confident, cocky, and way too grown for his own good. He's got bedroom eyes, a mouth full of slick charm, and zero shame in how hard he flirts with her. She knows he's trouble. She knows he's off-limits. But every night, he's just down the hall... Because temptation has never looked this good. And it might just be the best worst decision she's ever made.Cerita Lengkap

Between two jobs and a hard-earned scholarship at Darwin State, she's months away from the finish line. She has a plan, and it doesn't include distractions―especially not the gorgeous, silver-tongued professor standing at the front of her lecture hall who's twelve years older than her.

But even he knows that Rose is a line he shouldn't cross―not when a single scandal could rock the town and destroy her future. From the moment their eyes meet, the air sparks with a dangerous hunger. One touch could cost Rose her scholarship. One reckless night could cost Roman his career. But in a town where everyone is watching, the "wrong" choice has never felt so right.

Chaos & Serenity | 18+
Serenity [Sir-ren-ity] : The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Chaos [Kay-os] : Complete disorder and confusion. ♕♕♕ With being the Don of one of the biggest and baddest mafia families Luciano was never at ease with himself. He never felt like he was sane. Always shedding blood, murdering, selling drugs, robbing banks. He was so much chaos. He needed peace. Serenity's life was agonizingly calm. She thought it was boring with her simple routine of wake up, eat, read, sleep, maybe- if she's lucky, go out with friends, then repeat. Boring cycle of truth. She wanted some spice. Some chaos. ♕♕♕ "I just told you that I'm making you come with me to Italy- a whole other country and you're response was 'YES' ?" Luciano watched me with admiration in his dark grey eyes. I shrugged, "Yeah. I'm bored. Like..painfully bored." Luciano's eyebrow stayed raised and his eyes stayed admiring my words. "Aren't you a little crazy thing huh Bella..I'll keep that in mind." ♕♕♕ Ever since that 1 night Serenity went out with her college friend group and ran into a murder/torture fight in the tight alley way of Chicago, she's been on Luciano's mind. As him, on hers. The two were attracted to each other because of good and bad things. Luciano's attraction to Serenity was simply because her aura radiated that she was sane. Safe. Serenity's attraction to Luciano was the complete opposite. Call her crazy if you will but, a tall, handsome, Italian mafia Don was exactly what she was craving for.

"𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁, 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱." Seraphina Ramírez has spent the last four years fighting for the top spot. Perfect grades, a flawless reputation, and an ironclad determination to be the best-nothing and no one will stand in her way. Except for Augustine Hart. Smug, insufferable, and just as brilliant as she is, Augustine has been her greatest competition since freshman year. No matter how hard she pushes, he pushes right back, matching her step for step, refusing to let her win. Their rivalry is the only thing that's ever felt certain. But senior year has other plans. Forced into unwanted proximity, late-night study sessions, and tension-filled arguments, Seraphina starts to realize that Augustine isn't just her competition-he's a challenge she can't quite figure out. And maybe, just maybe, she doesn't want to. "𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲." Augustine has spent years playing this game with Seraphina, never letting her get the last word, never letting her win too easily. But the more time they spend together, the more he wonders if this thing between them-this constant push and pull-isn't about winning at all. Because if Seraphina Ramirez is his biggest challenge, then falling for her might be his biggest mistake. So what happens when the rivalry that defined them starts to unravel? When the lines blur and the rules no longer apply? What happens when the only thing more dangerous than losing... is wanting to?Cerita Lengkap
